Would you do it? Replace a 372XP X Torq with a G466
No, not a direct swap... I'm dumb, not stupid. Well, maybe a little stupid.
I already have a 652XP (28") and a mildly rodded MS261C (18") that rips.
The 562 is my main saw, mostly cutting mixed conifers and aspen, nothing really big.
I rarely use the 372, (also 28") but there are definitely times a bigger saw comes in handy. There's a guy locally with a tuned up G466 with not a lot of hours on it, that I though about replacing the 372 with. He wants about 1/4 of what I can sell the Husky for, so I'd have a little play money to throw towards porting the 562 among other things.
From what I can tell online these Holzfformas do pretty well, and if things do go out, they can be swapped with OEM parts... seems like a good idea to me. I'm not a brand junkie by any means, but I am leery of a lot of Chinese products. I've had some decent stuff in the past, and some junk, but these seem to be on the decent side...
Would you do it?
